If you want to say that cats are clingy, many cat shovelers have objections. Apart from eating, cats don’t want to get close to their owners at all. But if you want to say that cats are not clingy, some shovelers find that they have to come over when they go to the bathroom. So why do cats like to stay by their side when using the toilet? What is the reason why the cat stays next to you when going to the toilet? Let’s see why cats come to the toilet.

1. Curious

Cats are animals with strong curiosity, and cats have strong independence. When the owner is at home, the cat will secretly hide and observe what the owner is doing, especially if the owner is not in the cat's sight. The cat is very curious about what the owner is doing. So when the owner goes to the toilet, the cat will feel that the owner is doing something inside, and then it will guard the door of the toilet.

2. Territory consciousness

Cats have a strong sense of territory. They will feel that their owner's home is their own territory. So when the owner goes to the toilet and closes the door, they will guard the side and confirm the location of the owner.

3. Dependence

Cats have strong dependence and are prone to dependence on their owners, so they want to follow their owners all the time. When the owner goes to the toilet and closes the door, it will guard outside, and some cats are shouting and catching the door crazy because they can't see their owner.

4. Cats like to walk together. In the relationship between cats, a cat acts as the leader. Once the leader does something, other cats will follow and do it together. The owner takes the lead in going to the toilet, so the cat will follow the owner to the toilet.
